I'm sure there's away seating in the corner of the ground adjacent to the away terrace isn't there?
Not sure if it's covered though.

It's on the side opposite the main stand.

According to their website we get covered standing and uncovered seating.

Yes. I think they have 'temporary' stands on that side of the ground don't they?

Seems to be a bit of banter between the players about it, which has to be a positive sign. There could very well be an offer on the table, fingers crossed.

According to the main site, Saturday could have been his last game for us, but let's see what happens. If it is his last game, we will be able to use Dan Mooney v Hyde to up his fitness for Saturday so either way, we have decent cover; plus Justin Donowa and Matty Kosylo are anxious for a place.

We will be ok even if we lose Alex Newby, but I would like us to keep him admittedly, others will step up though. At the moment we are free-scoring and even away, I can see us getting 3 points on Saturday. Solihull won't be relishing our visit after what happened at Moss Lane, but it may still be tough.

Losing Newby would be a masisve blow for a sqaud of our size.

Newby has been magnificent this last month. Losing him will be a body blow

Where did you hear that

It may be so the new management team can assess him for themselves but I think it's normal for a loan player to return to their parent club before being sold - let's hope this is the case!

I heard on the nltv stream that he had signed for another month...

Another month would be a bit odd because I don’t think you can extend more than twice so he’d then have to go back in Feb. Unless new management are happy to leave him here while they asses what they’ve got then get him back in Feb with a view to forming a view on potential new contract for him in the summer over the next few months?

I wouldn’t fancy that if I was him though. Potentially looking a for a new club after not playing much at the back end of the season isnt easy

I also thought it was odd, I'd expect it was a perm move with an early release a la eddy jones. We could also extend the loan to allow for further negotiations since we can buy outside of January.

Either way we've heard all sorts and I know we just all hope it's sorted before Thursday.

If that's as good as the match streaming they are responsible for, I shouldn't put a great deal of faith in it.

As one of the commentators on the NLTV stream on Saturday don’t believe everything you hear !

I think I may be responsible for that misunderstanding. I was speculating when his loan spell was due to end and may have mistakenly mentioned the end of February.

My apologies for any confusion caused.

Especially when the truth was better.

Just seen PPs post match interview.  Not sure why the interviewer  said that we are conceding goals and was pleased we didn’t concede today.. our goals against tally is one of the best in the league this campaign.

A great team performance and a statement of intent! Thought it was one of the most professional displays of the season in terms of staying calm, sticking to a good shape and keeping the ball to see it through. Felt that CCC didn’t really get into the game and Justin still doesn’t seem 100% himself. Good to see our new signing start with a goal and shout outs to Banks, Jones, Cooper and Baines who were all magnificent.

These professional performances we've seen recently are a definite step up from away performances in the past. We are becoming difficult to beat with a settled defensive unit as well as the forwards.
To be hyper critical I would say we need to be better finishers and sometimes all our good work goes to waste because we can't stick the ball in the net. Still, three winnable home games coming up.....
